Very high taxes on first bill
I just got the S22 ultra. My monthly bill was quoted as 142 (before taxes) My first bill is 354 (about 179 in taxes) What gives? đ
I expect next month it will be exactly the quoted monthly bill
CRA requires that the tax on the full value of the item be submitted when the item is delivered. It's not like a lease or rental where the tax is only on the monthly amount because you don't own the item in that scenario. You can consider your monthly amount as a loan repayment just like if you took a loan out from the bank to buy the phone. You still need to pay the full tax on the phone up front when you buy it regardless of how you pay it off.
- Okay great that's what I thought thank you! So as I understand it then, the next bill will be closer to the original quoted monthly payment?
- Great thank you! I thought that was it but just needed to confirm. So as I understand it then the next bill will be lower, closer to the quoted monthly bill?
